"Today this idea of the youth wing of the Assembly is being realized. This is our small contribution to the greening of the country's main city. I think that this green baton will be continued by other cities of Kazakhstan, in particular by the headquarters of our movement "Zhangyru Zholy" in all regions," said Maxim Spotkai, Chairman of the "Zhangyru Zholy" Republican Youth movement.

Tamila Rozmetova familiarized the participants of the action with apple tree varieties, as well as reported on the new variety, which was specially developed taking into account the climatic characteristics of the capital.

"We brought 8 varieties - 800 seedlings, 7 of which were tested in Atyrau. We decided to name one kind - a new one after the city of Nur-Sultan," said a member of the youth movement.

She explained that the apple trees would be frost-resistant. Moreover, they are suitable for the climate of the capital city, can withstand cold up to -45 degrees and are not afraid of sudden temperature changes.

According to the young entrepreneur’s plan, 20 tons of apples will be harvested from one hectare of seedlings allocated for planting.

"We have carried out special irrigation in the garden. Astana-Zelenstroi JSC has been given the task of further maintenance," Tamila Rozmetova said.
